Crohn’s Disease

The cause of Crohn’s
disease remains
unknown but is
associated with chronic
inflammation that
may appear anywhere
along the digestive
tract from the mouth
to the anus. It most
commonly affects the
small intestine. Crohn’s
disease often impairs digestion, especially of fats and carbohydrates.

Digestive enzyme therapy is especially important to assist with
the digestion and absorption of nutrients for those with Crohn’s
disease. However, fibrosis in the small intestine and colon caused by
the inflammatory nature of Crohn’s disease are the most common
complications and cause of surgery in patients.

While existing drugs and surgical techniques are of limited benefit
to prevent progression of Crohn’s disease, proteolytic enzymes
naturally dissolve excess scar tissue making systemic enzyme
therapy especially useful.

Osteoarthritis

Arthritis is a joint disorder resulting in pain and stiffness largely
attributed to inflammation. While true inflammation plays a major
role, several factors typically contribute.

Low levels of systemic proteolytic enzymes allow runaway
inflammation... an acidic body composition leave cartilage
